What do you love/hate about Gen 5?

Love:- The music.- The story.- Most of the pokemon designs.- Being able to use TMs as much as I want.- Challenge Mode.- The slightly improved graphics.- Likable rivals.- Easier way to level up your pokemon.

Hate:- How boring the region was.- Dreamworld.- A few pokemon designs. Namely Zoroark, the whole Timburr line, Garbodor and Genesect.- Unova Pokemon only during White.---It's-a me!

I hate how a lot of the TM's are only obtained through BP, and that list was only expanded in Black 2 and White 2. I hate how the Dream World is used as a tool to drive traffic to their website.

I love everything else about it. Fifth Generation has actually been one of my favorite generations so far, and that's saying a LOT. The overall quality-of-life and aesthetic imrpovements over Fourth Gen were a huge step in the right direction for me. Black 2 and White 2 are, so far, my favorite Pokemon games to date. Black Skycraper, White Treehollow, Unova Link, Infrared Box-to-Box trading from anywhere (not just a Pokemon Center), animated battle sprites, and a slough of other things have really reforged this series into an even better iteration.---If you're a gamer, it is your responsibility to share this with everyone you know:http://youtu.be/jHmDjNCZR3k

It seemed so much more tedious to me than the previous games. I'm not entirely sure why.

really? That's interesting, because the Pokémon were all-new, and the gameplay was much speeded up. Just look up a (non-edited) battle video from Diamond/Pearl, and then one from Black/White. You'll be amazed how faster everything got.---Goemon, Simon Belmont, Mega Man, Paper Mario, Alex Roivas, Isaac, and Prince Sabure for SSB4!http://www.backloggery.com/krisi

The battles themselves may have been sped up, but by the time I got to the final four it felt like the game had been dragging on forever...

And then that wasn't the end! I finally just got a friend of mine to get me a vast supply of rare candy, bloated my Pokemon up to 100, and went through the four the second time without exploring much of the remaining routes. I couldn't take it any more.---Often, when you try too hard to act superior, the opposite occurs.

I love the new pokemon and the general "feel" of the regionI hate the new EXP system. It's terrible, your levels get waaay too high.
